Tajiks are (somehow) Iranian, not Turkic. Chinese Tajiks still speak Iranian languages.

Don't think that will be happening any time soon. Most Chinese, even the minorities, have no interest in a revolution.

Yeah. When peoples' lives are generally alright, they don't have an incentive for a revolution.

So... Why would most people in China want a revolution? Things are okay for most Chinese and a revolution would, at the very least, create a period of instability and, likely, crime and violence that would be much worse than the lack of democracy that most people don't care about or value much, or capital punishment for non capital crimes that effect few people.

since the ethnic Mon Khmer group is the same as Vietnamese, I guess the viets also are considered an ethnic minority of China?
